Comment on In Militarizing Push, Russian School Children To Build Drones

Russia will soon teach high school students how to build and fly drones, which have become a key weapon in the war between Moscow and Kyiv.
Russia last year launched a nationwide project called Unmanned Aerial Systems to promote both the domestic production of drones and preparation of drone pilots and other specialists starting with high school students.
Seems to remind me of Hitler Youth for some reason… 🤷♂️
🤡 🖕 💩
Thats what soviets did too. There were classes for gun assembly and shooting practice and its not a new thing.
I don’t think military skill prep is a bad thing for small countries but coming from current ruzi administration is certainly is a bit on the nose. As in “training kids to terrorize country they invaded with semi-autonomous remote weapons” just doesn’t ring the same as “military prep in case of invasion”
Are we forgetting that the US has JROTC in schools? Literally training kids for the military…
Yes and they literally have a drone competition. It’s the exact same thing as russia.
Ummm no! Our drones have crosses on them because Jesus is king.
That’s very interesting TIL
Teaching kids war is good in any case. Teaching kids that war is good is bad.
Yeah tbh I agree with you. These lessons should be left for adults no matter how you look at this issue.
Gave me brave brew world vibes since they are essentially raising them up to be the foot soldier class. It would be even easier to draft them
Child soldiers are not Brave New World. More like shit old world.
